Sports Mole looks ahead to Paris Saint-Germain's home encounter against Montpellier on Friday night.

Friday's meeting at the Parc des Princes will see the champions elect play host to the current title holders.

Paris Saint-Germain head into the clash top of the Ligue 1 table and five points ahead of their nearest challengers Lyon.

Carlo Ancelotti's side can also boast the best home record in the division. Only two teams, St Etienne and Rennes, have left the French capital with all three points.

The Italian coach is likely to start with David Beckham on the bench after the former England captain recently spent five days touring China as the country's football ambassador. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Lucas Moura and Javier Pastore should all be included for the Parisians though.

Meanwhile, Montpellier HSC, who have won just four times on the road this season, have been tipped to start with former Portsmouth attacker John Utaka on the right of a three-man strike force.
